<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2076275, member: 19463&quot;]Judging from the specimens on sale on vCoins and the grade of this coin, I&#039;d value it, if genuine, at about the cost of a slab or Sear certificate.&nbsp; I am increasingly of the opinion that it is fake.&nbsp; The easy way would be to take it the next time you go to a major coin show if this is in your plans.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.vcoins.com/en/Search.aspx?search=true&amp;searchQuery=histiaia&amp;searchQueryExclude=&amp;searchCategory=0&amp;searchCategoryLevel=2&amp;searchCategoryAncient=True&amp;searchCategoryUs=True&amp;searchCategoryWorld=True&amp;searchCategoryMedieval=False&amp;searchBetween=0&amp;searchBetweenAnd=0&amp;searchDate=&amp;searchUseThesaurus=True&amp;searchDisplayCurrency=&amp;searchDisplayAsList=False&amp;searchIdStore=0&amp;searchQueryAnyWords=&amp;searchExactPhrase=&amp;searchTitleAndDescription=True&amp;searchDateType=0&amp;searchMaxRecords=100&amp;SearchOnSale=False" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.vcoins.com/en/Search.aspx?search=true&amp;searchQuery=histiaia&amp;searchQueryExclude=&amp;searchCategory=0&amp;searchCategoryLevel=2&amp;searchCategoryAncient=True&amp;searchCategoryUs=True&amp;searchCategoryWorld=True&amp;searchCategoryMedieval=False&amp;searchBetween=0&amp;searchBetweenAnd=0&amp;searchDate=&amp;searchUseThesaurus=True&amp;searchDisplayCurrency=&amp;searchDisplayAsList=False&amp;searchIdStore=0&amp;searchQueryAnyWords=&amp;searchExactPhrase=&amp;searchTitleAndDescription=True&amp;searchDateType=0&amp;searchMaxRecords=100&amp;SearchOnSale=False" rel="nofollow">http://www.vcoins.com/en/Search.aspx?search=true&amp;searchQuery=histiaia&amp;searchQueryExclude=&amp;searchCategory=0&amp;searchCategoryLevel=2&amp;searchCategoryAncient=True&amp;searchCategoryUs=True&amp;searchCategoryWorld=True&amp;searchCategoryMedieval=False&amp;searchBetween=0&amp;searchBetweenAnd=0&amp;searchDate=&amp;searchUseThesaurus=True&amp;searchDisplayCurrency=&amp;searchDisplayAsList=False&amp;searchIdStore=0&amp;searchQueryAnyWords=&amp;searchExactPhrase=&amp;searchTitleAndDescription=True&amp;searchDateType=0&amp;searchMaxRecords=100&amp;SearchOnSale=False</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Of the coins on sale on vCoins there are a couple dealers offerings I would doubt and avoid but most show the hair styles without the large round balls as on the Barry Murphy page of fakes I linked to above and on your coin.&nbsp; I am nowhere near expert in these to the point that I would tell the vCoin dealer to check his coins with this feature but, with so many available without those ornaments, I&#039;d buy one of them.&nbsp; I only have one which I believe to be OK.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]385481[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
